threat-modeling

Threat modeling for microservices and APIs involves mapping system components, trust boundaries, and data flows, then applying structured methodologies like STRIDE or PASTA to produce a ranked threat register with recommended mitigations.

The best way to identify security threats during software design is to apply structured threat-modeling methodologies like STRIDE and attack trees to your architecture, producing a prioritized risk register mapped to concrete remediation actions.

Yes, this threat modeling approach supports cloud deployments and data flows by mapping system components and trust boundaries to identify security threats, producing risk scores and actionable mitigations tailored for cloud or on-prem environments.

Mapping identified security risks to OWASP Top 10 and NIST standards is achieved during the threat modeling process, where identified threats and recommended mitigations are correlated with relevant industry security standards for comprehensive compliance coverage.

STRIDE focuses on categorizing threat types like spoofing and tampering across system components, while PASTA is a risk-centric methodology that aligns business objectives with technical requirements to produce a comprehensive threat register and prioritized mitigations.

Yes, you can use DREAD to score security risks in your threat register, applying its risk-assessment methodology to evaluate damage, reproducibility, exploitability, affected users, and discoverability for prioritized architectural mitigations.
